Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was a Dutch painter known famously with his Baroque style of arts that dominated Europe. I actually have some idea about him when I took up arts subject during my college years and one of the interesting artists I still can remember is Rembrandt.

Google Doodles Rembrandt van Rijn 407th Birthday

As Google Doodles Rembrandt van Rijn 407th Birthday today, how I wish he’s still alive and still continuing to share his masterpieces with us.

Much of Gaudí’s work was marked by his big passions in life: architecture, nature, religion.[3] Gaudí studied every detail of his creations, integrating into his architecture a series of crafts in which he was skilled: ceramics, stained glass, wrought ironworkforging and carpentry. He introduced new techniques in the treatment of materials, such as trencadís, made of waste ceramic pieces.

After a few years, under the influence of neo-Gothic art and Oriental techniques, Gaudí became part of the Modernista movement which was reaching its peak in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His work transcended mainstream Modernisme, culminating in an organic style inspired by nature. Gaudí rarely drew detailed plans of his works, instead preferring to create them as three-dimensionalscale models and molding the details as he was conceiving them.

Just like music, art has been one of the oldest avenues of communication. It transcends language barriers. Regardless of the skin color, one kind of art can be understood the same way. At other times, the same kind of art projects a different interpretation especially if the art is abstract. That is just the way it is. It welcomes different opinions which are unique to the individual’s point of view. It transcends religious or political views. Even the infamous Mona Lisa painted by Leonardo da Vinci has been the most talked about, the most visited, the most written and sung about piece of art throughout the whole world. The only ones who cannot relate are those who are blind, yet, some blind used their imagination to appreciate the same.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Fine LDS art has many examples to show that anyone can appreciate art. With the availability of the internet and the ease of delivery all over the world no one can stop anyone from owning LDS paintings. Most will have an effect on one’s feelings and outlook.

Paintings are great to have in one’s domain. A bedroom with nice paintings will make you think and appreciate life. It makes one meditate. It makes the mind work its neurons so as not to leave them stressed or simply tired but it gives new spark. An idle mind breeds evil so if the mind is meditating as a result of looking at the painting, then that painting is doing a good job to make life better. Situations may not be as good but the acceptance of challenges is more like easier than without the help of the painting. Of course there are paintings that are a result of bad emotions. You will not choose them, though, will you?

Haring achieved his first public attention with chalk drawings in the subways of New York. These were his first recognized pieces of pop art. The exhibitions were filmed by the photographer Tseng Kwong Chi. Around this time, “The Radiant Baby” became his symbol. His bold lines, vivid colors, and active figures carry strong messages of life and unity. Starting in 1980, he organized exhibitions in Club 57. He participated in the Times Square Exhibition and drew, for the first time, animals and human faces. In 1981 he sketched his first chalk drawings on black paper and painted plastic, metal and found objects.

Yes, it’s an architectural design because Ludwig Mies van der Rohe is a German Architect. He is one of the pioneering Masters in Architecture along with Le Corbusier and Walter Gropius.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe structural designs are of minimal styles. In fact, he called his buildings ‘skin and bone‘ architecture. He made use of materials such as industrial steels and plate glasses for the interior spaces. But I am not sure if he has utilized revell plastic materials.

José Victoriano (Carmelo Carlos) González-Pérez, born on March 23, 1887 and died on May 11, 1927 and who is commonly known as Juan Gris, was a Spanish painter and sculptor. But most of his life, he lived and worked in France.

If you happen to visit the Google’s homepage today, Dec. 8, 2011, a painting of Diego Rivera is displayed. This is in honor to him — a Mexican painter, who was born Diego María de la Concepción Juan Nepomuceno Estanislao de la Rivera y Barrientos Acosta y Rodríguez.

Diego Rivera is a fresco painter. He was also one of the many painters who helped painting — as an art, named and known in Mexico. He was also a communist before.
